Doesn't surprise me even though most Apple Stores are usually filled while other computer type stores are either out of business or almost empty. Most people are simply buying online, whether it's through Apple, Amazon or major businesses like B&…

I bet lawyers release more personal information about clients than Apple does.

I checked Geekbench and they didn't list any Apple M2 Pro Compute scores for Metal. As a comparison, here's my early 2019 iMac19,1 Core i9 8c, 72GB RAM, 2TB SSD, AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 (bought son's fully blown iMac used for animation). Single 13…

DuhSesame said: In Steam's own hardware survey, 92% of people are using CPUs with 8 or fewer cores, meaning most people are using Ryzen 7s. We can safely say that M2 Max will be more powerful than 92% of personal computers. However, 8-core i…

I could go for this but I'd also want Apple to require that every displayed business updates their information regularly (like at a minimum every month), making sure the business is tagged to the exact location. As for what they can display, I'd lik…

I wish people would quit harping on Apple when the majority of you allow your information to be used by all sorts of businesses and corporations. I can't even see a doctor without giving them my SSN and complete history. We all do this, except for t…

Another frivolous lawsuit based on conjecture without any real evidence. Judge needs to immediately toss it with possible sanctions. I’m tired of all the wasted tax dollars supporting people without any hard evidence.

DuhSesame said: Actually, if you count how old the microarchitecture is, the M1 is a two-year-old technology. It took another year for Apple to deliver their Pro and Max lineups. While they’re impressive chips, they aren’t that advanced lik…

Your OWC link didn't go to the device. It should be https://www.owc.com/thunderbolt-go-dock and this website doesn't say anything about its price. It's not listed on the normal MacSales website. The power jack is on the long side instead of the end …

Same could be said about Twitter and Facebook. Rules for government owned devices already limit what the user can access. Of course these have been constantly violated, especially during the last administration.

That's it, just $725M? That's chump change. They don't even have to admit any wrongdoing. Talk about a light sentence. Most of this money will go to lawyers with almost nothing going to the people affected. The initial $5B fine would not even have b…
